About dangoldin

Currently leading engineering team @ TripleLift (http://triplelift.com/). Formerly I cofounded Makers Alley (http://makersalley.com) and Pressi (formerly Glossi) (http://getpressi.com/dan). Before that I had a stint as a wall street quant, a management consultant, and a brief stint as a product manager.

I write at http://dangoldin.com.

I do a minimal amount of consulting on work with a focus on quantitative engineering, scaling systems, and architecture review. If you have an interesting project with some fun challanges definitely reach out!

    I'd reach out to your former manager that you got along with and ask for their advice. Seems you had a good rapport and they know the company dynamics.

    I'm sure you've heard of SQLMesh but that seems like a potential fit. Or is it still too heavy handed?

    Yea - definitely. Just not ideal and something that needs to be built out, tested, etc.

    Problem is that often you also end up relying on GitHub for CI/CD so not as easy of a change. Imagine GH being down and you need to deploy a hotfix. How do you handle that? Especia…

    Yea - the idea is that Snowflake will generate these after a query runs in order to help you look at multiple runs of the same query. So imagine you run a query that's "select a fr…
